wakeonlan

This module provides a wrapper around the wakeonlan tool.

Usage

To use this wrapper, create the ~/.wakeonlan directory, and place in it one file for each device you would like to be able to wake. Give the file a name that describes the device, such as its hostname.

Each file should contain a line with the MAC address of the target device and the network broadcast address. For instance, there might be a file ~/.wakeonlan/leto with the following contents:

00:11:22:33:44:55:66 192.168.0.255

To wake that device, use the following command:

wake leto

For more information on the configuration file format, read the wakeonlan man page.
